Vehicle Description
Embark on an adventure reminiscent of those spontaneous family road
trips, but with a twist of power under the hood. The 1980 Chevrolet
Malibu Wagon Restomod is no ordinary grocery-getter; it's a sleeper
beast cloaked in a light blue facade with the original patina
telling tales of its journeys. Commanding attention are the 15"
rally-style wheels wrapped in BFG Radial T/A tires (215/70R15 in
the front and 235/70R15 in the rear), hinting at the power that
lurks within. This wagon is a subtle nod to thrill-seekers who
appreciate the legacy of an understated exterior with the heart of
a racer.
The interior reflects the character of a well-loved companion. The
front bench, a harmonious blend of vinyl and cloth, offers a
welcoming embrace, while the full vinyl rear bench echoes tales of
laughter and conversations from past rides. Despite its patina, the
newer carpeting and well-preserved wood veneer on the gauge cluster
add a touch of resilience. The Tremec shifter sits poised for
action, ensuring precise gear shifts and exhilarating race-ready
performance on the open road.
Upfront, the 1980 Chevrolet Malibu Wagon Restomod reveals its true
spirit - a 383 Stroker V8 engine paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed
manual transmission. Enhanced with an Edelbrock intake and
carburetor, this Restomod is a masterpiece of power and precision.
The engine bay showcases a gallery of upgrades, from the power
booster and new steering lines to the long tube headers from Doug's
and a contemporary cooling system. The rear houses a robust Currie
9-inch axle, ensuring that every bit of power is transferred to the
road.
